1899 Signature Oil

I’m a Korean skincare junkie, and I’m a big fan of the anti-aging effects of Red Ginseng. I’m in my 50’s, and I have not had plastic surgery-yet. I live in a temperate climate with moderate to high humidity. I finish my daytime skincare routine with this oil nearly everyday. My skin loves it year round. It locks in the goodness of all of the other products I use. I have struggled with acne my entire life. While I still have the occasional stress, hormonal break out, the problem is minimal since I began a Korean skincare routine. Age and acne - fun skincare challenges. :) This oil is lovely. It does help minimize the appearance of fine lines, but like all products it takes consistent use and time. I order this on a subscription. A little goes a long way. It is an oil, so you should expect an oil texture and weight. I apply my SPF tone up after letting the oil soak in for about 5 minutes. It absorbs well into the skin. I don’t feel like I have an oil slick sitting on my face. Neither SPF nor BB cream slide off my skin. The scent is lovely, a little strong when applying, but it dissipates quickly for an oil. I get headaches from strong scent, but this doesn’t irritate me too much. However, if you are super sensitive to scent, it might be a bit strong. I love the glow that comes through under makeup. This is my face immediately after applying the oil, before SPF or makeup. My forehead wrinkles are practically invisible and my neck is visibly less aged looking. I’d recommend this product even though it is expensive. There are other less expensive oil products available that are effective also. Still, I just really like everything about this oil - the pretty packaging, the texture, the scent, the ingredients, the way it makes my skin feel and it’s effectiveness. I will keep buying and using this product.

I’ve bought this twice as gifts for others. This is on my wishlist, but I’ve yet to try it myself. However, I’ve been using the Donginbi Essence for years, and I absolutely love the products from this company. Like the essence, this serum contains Red Ginseng, which I’m obsessed with. It has such a beautiful smell and my skin always feels amazing and hydrated with Donginbi products. I always feel a little bit goes a long way. From one recipient “Thank you so much for this oil. I just put some of it on my face. It’s amazing.” This is perfect to give as a gift to anyone. It arrives in a luxurious box. The presentation makes it look expensive. I know skin care is a personal thing and everyone has different tastes, but you can’t go wrong with this serum. It’s a nice addition to any routine, so perfect to give as a gift. Great for both morning and night skin routines, but if you want to make the bottle last longer I would recommend using it just at night. Highly recommended!

This oil smells SO GOOD! Before I put on, I inhale it while on my finger tips. It relaxes me. I use Retina-A every night as my regular skin care routine, however I’ll use this once or twice a week just to give me a break from the Retin-A. It gives me the added moisturizer and I know I’m still getting amazing skin care. This is the only other thing I chose to use aside from Retin-A, because of how effective it is. Don’t forget to pat onto your skin to ensure it goes well into your pores and you’re not just laying it on top.

Love how this moisturizes my face and neck.

It takes awhile to see the product really works, I used 2/3 of the bottle. It reduced the minor wrinkles around the eyes but not much of the forehead. I like the product, i thought to give a 5 star; however, with the price, I give a 4. I do not think I will continue to buy the product.

Hey! So I saw a video online noting that the top spa in South Korea uses this oil during their facials and so I had to try it. I got the smallest one to test and the small is actually larger than I anticipated. Fits nicely in my hand. The oil absorbs very quickly and is definitely something to use when you are feeling dry or otherwise it may be too much moisture. That seems odd to say but yeah with my whole regime, it’s too much for me so I switch out items for this a few times a week. As for the scent- I actually am sensitive to smells and I didn’t smell a whole lot of anything on this. It definitely smells like red ginseng but it’s a light light scent. Like barely there. My skin overall looks pretty good with this so I can’t complain. It’s only been 2 weeks though so I have more testing to go.

Never thought I’d spend so much on a face oil but thought I’d give it a shot to add in my night time routine since I already use the whole line. It did not disappoint. I will definitely repurchase when I run out. It absorbs into my skin beautifully, has a subtle earthy smell, makes my skin so soft luminous, and did not cause any breakouts/acne! My skin absolutely loves this.

This product is amazing. I’ve been using it for a couple of years now and it has done wonders for my skin.It has helped reverse time. I cannot live without this product.
